50-point year — drill deck

Slide 1 · The year · TOP's

Your anniversary year. Not the calendar year.

• A qualifying year takes 50 points before the anniversary year ending date.
• 15 membership points are automatic in the Ready Reserve.
• A standard drill weekend is 4 points. Forty-nine does not round up.

1 / 3 · Verify on IPPS-A before anyone enrolls.

Slide 2 · Where the number lives · TOP's

The points report. Not a group chat.

• Army Reserve: IPPS-A.
• Army Guard: the state points statement (RPAM).
• Other components: that service’s official points inquiry.
• Correspondence courses will not save a short year the way people claim.

Slide 3 · Before the year dies · TOP's

RST a weekend before the AYE closes.

• AT and most active-duty days are 1 point each.
• If the math is short, the time to fix it is before the ending date.
• The 1SG does not award retirement points in formation.

Speaker note: Speaker: the estimator is /tools?tool=points. The official record still wins.
